The Drop of Milk in Belleville - Doctor Variot's Surgery, The Weighing Session
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a significant moment in history - the weighing session at "The Drop of Milk" clinic in Belleville. Painted by Henri Jules Jean Geoffroy in 1903, this oil on canvas masterpiece brings to life the dedication and care provided by Doctor Variot. Measuring an impressive 253x130 cm, the painting showcases a scene filled with compassion and hope. A young mother tenderly holds her baby as they await their turn for examination. The scales stand prominently nearby, symbolizing the importance of monitoring each infant's growth and development. Geoffroy skillfully portrays the atmosphere within the clinic through his attention to detail. From the concerned expressions on both doctor and mother's faces to the meticulous arrangement of medical instruments, every element adds depth to this poignant image. Located at Musee de l'Assistance Publique, Hopitaux de Paris in France, this artwork serves as a reminder of early healthcare practices that aimed to improve child nutrition and reduce infant mortality rates. It is a testament to Dr. Variot's pioneering work in promoting public health initiatives during that era. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported back in time - witnessing not only a simple weighing session but also witnessing progress towards better healthcare for all.
